100% agree with this. I think ESC's programable from transmitters or phones is where it is at.

RS Pro is no longer made. Replaced with RSX.

Quick update on new items...

Hotwire 3.0 with BLE is moving along. We did run into a late challenge we had to deal with, but looks like we have it figured out and we just have to finish up and build them.

The RSX did replace the RSpro, but we are bringing the Rspro back due to popular demand by some groups.

We are moving forward with the 1S units and will have an update on them early in Jan.

for the different versions of the hotwire, are they different hardware versions, or is it all software?

We've built several CRC XTI WC 1/12 Pan Car during the holidays. Those recent rumors about the 1s ESCs being close to be released really draw our attention! Most of the guys run Tekin stuff in their Buggy and Scaler and will switch to Tekin on their 1/12 when available.

I know Holidays were quite rough for you. I wish you a quick recovery.

There was a hardware change between each version: V1 and V2 and the upcoming V3 which is BlueTooth

Hopefully still around (but with some improvements).

If they just beef up the case, and reinforce the posts so they don't fail where soldered to the PCB, the RX8 would be perfect. I really love how smooth they are, but the durability is somewhat sketchy, even with them mounted Kyosho zeal tape in all of my rigs.

We're on the quieter side because we're all working hard and testing many things at the moment.

HW 3.0 is on my desk right now. Soon

Rx8's have been winning races and are working well. Soon

Any word on the release date for hw 3.0 yet? It's been 6.5 months I think.
